Everyone is watching NVDA earnings. Few are looking at the flow setup behind it. Our data shows retail has stepped back from single stock buying while institutions are holding one of the biggest NVDA call positions since 2022. This pattern often comes before major turning points.

We said on Wednesday the shutdown wouldn’t clear the macro fog. Now it’s confirmed: no October CPI, delayed labour data, and markets reassessing cuts. In moments like this, having a clear framework matters. That’s what Vanda provides.

US equities didn’t fall because of a headline or a single bank charge-off. They fell because positioning is crowded. When markets are this stretched, small shocks feel big. Our models show room for more unwind systematic selling likely ramps into month-end.

In April, Eric Liu called the bottom on US equities. He was right. Now his framework has shifted. This time, the call goes against consensus. To unlock the research: sales@vanda.com

Retail investors piled into US equities again yesterday—classic buy-the-dip behavior. But they haven’t capitulated yet, meaning other players are driving stocks lower. Find out how to cut through the noise with VandaTrack: shorturl.at/HFqdC

⚠️ Fed taper announcement (caps cut to $25bn) broadly in line with where Primary Dealers were in early March (at $20bn). I don't think this was a massive surprise... and why we're seeing a muted reaction. If anything US yields stay supported unless Powell tries to talk cuts $USD

⚠️ ECB day… 🟢 Best case for $EUR is Lagarde explicitly rules out Mar/Apr cuts saying ECB will only cut after seeing H1 wage negotiations 🔴 Worst case for $EUR is Lagarde rules in Mar/Apr rate cuts by saying all options possible Most likely we’ll get a whole heap of nothing

⚠️ On the surface UK CPI was 'hot'. Certainly services sticky (largely hotels). BUT 43% of the basket still saw price cuts. Trimmed mean MoM was 0.2%. This isn't a broad uptick in prices. It's a few sticky factors that I expect will fade in Q1. Mar still live for BoE cut $GBP

⚠️ Markets are pricing in the most aggressive front-loaded Fed hiking cycle in modern history. If the Fed delivers 4 consecutive 50bps hikes starting in May... which is starting to get priced in... then this will be more aggressive than what we saw in '94. History being made $USD

⚠️ UK wage growth misses... and slowing in line with all the other alt data. Negative monthly payrolls too... broad-based with more than 50% of industries seeing job cuts. If the US jobs report was strong... UK one is the polar opposite. BoE can cut sooner than markets think $GBP

⚠️ Sticky flash Oct Tokyo CPI means the risks of a YCC tweak at Oct BoJ tomorrow cannot be ruled out. It's less clear-cut than it was in July given Japan's loss of economic momentum over Q3. But 1H Oct mid-fiscal year price dynamics suggest BoJ might have more work to do $JPY

⚠️ UK flash PMI: - Biggest fall in services activity since Jan - Longest decline in manf activity since 08/09 - Lower jobs 2nd month in row - Softer services costs (wages) - Goods prices declined fastest since '16 Only hawkish factor: - 3M high in prices charged (services) $GBP

⚠️ UK jobless claims remain in keeping with late '18/'19 end-of-cycle levels. Unemployment data is stale & uncertain given measurement issues. But direction of travel for UK labour market clear - things are getting worse. Another set of data forcing BoE to sit on their hands $GBP
